Hi

I am using Image control with DataList control but have a problem. Here is the code I am using

<asp:Image ImageURL='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "imagefilename" ) %>' Runat="Server" /

I would like to change it to something like this

<asp:Image ImageURL='images/<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "imagefilename" ) %>' Runat="Server" /

In other words, I would like to add a folder name part to the ImageURL value. However it doesn't seem to work properly. What should I do

Thank you in advance

Try concatenating images/ with the Eval.

Not sure if you just need

or

Create a function in the code behind and call it from the databinding. It
will look like this:

'---Code behind function:
Public Function GetImagePath(ByVal imageFileName As String) As String
Return "images/" & imageFileName
End Function

Then on the calling page call this function passing in the data:
<asp:Image ImageURL='<%# GetImagePath(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"imagefilename" )) %>' Runat="Server" />
